When OpenAI unveiled GPT-5 on Thursday, 7 August, it instantly set the tech world buzzing. The company's most advanced AI model yet has been hailed as a leap forward in reasoning, adaptability and speed. But one question has captured the public imagination: could it be as intelligent as Albert Einstein?
It is a comparison that sounds like science fiction, pitting the 20th century's most iconic genius against a 21st-century algorithm. Some AI enthusiasts argue GPT-5's brain-like abilities could even surpass human brilliance. Others warn that measuring a machine's 'IQ' alongside a human's is not only misleading but fundamentally flawed.
